Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby! Chapter 250 - 249: Accuse Me of Poisoning? My Man Drank It A

Gu Xiuzhen’s cries grew louder upon hearing the commotion, reaching a deafening level.

She suddenly raised her head, her bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Lin Wan Yi, looking as if she wanted to tear her apart alive.

"It’s you!"

She pointed her trembling finger directly at Lin Wan Yi.

"You deliberately hurt !"

Lin Wan Yi seed startled by the sudden accusation, took a step back, her face pale.

"Aunt, what are you saying... I didn’t..."

"When I was helping you, you lost your balance yourself..."

"You’re lying!" Gu Xiuzhen’s voice was piercingly sharp, "You did it on purpose! You hate ! You wanted to burn !"

She cried as she complained to the bystanders.

"Everyone, judge for yourselves! I kindly ca from Beijing to visit them, but she finds , her elder, an eyesore!"

"I just scolded her for being wasteful, and she held a grudge!"

"I slipped earlier, but she could have helped , but she didn’t! She picked up that bowl of soup and splashed it on !"

Political Commissioner Zhou frowned deeply.

"Sister Gu, calm down! I don’t think Wanyi did it on purpose, there must be so misunderstanding!"

"No misunderstanding!" Gu Xiuzhen insisted, "She did it on purpose!"

She pointed at the pot of chicken soup still boiling on the stove, her eyes gleaming with malice.

"That soup! That soup is poisoned!"

Everyone was shocked by her words.

Poison?

This is no small matter! The nature of the situation has completely changed!

Everyone’s gaze changed instantly.

They looked at Lin Wan Yi, their eyes filled with scrutiny and suspicion.

This is a military compound, such an occurrence is unheard of!

At this mont, a female voice sounded.

It was Zhang Lina, the daughter of Director Zhang from the logistics departnt.

She had been standing at the back of the crowd, but now she stepped forward, her face showing a hint of pleasure and feigned terror.

"I... I think I saw it."

She spoke timidly, successfully capturing everyone’s attention.

"When aunt slipped just now, I happened to see... Lin Wan Yi’s actions..."

She paused, seemingly organizing her words, or perhaps hesitating to speak.

"What did you see? Speak up!" soone urged.

Zhang Lina bit her lower lip, appearing to have made up her mind.

"Her hand didn’t seem to shake at all."

"The arc of the soup being splashed out... it seed like... it seed precisely calculated, all aid at aunt’s feet."

"Moreover, it looked like she even smiled."

This statent was like a drop of oil in boiling water.

The kitchen doorway erupted like a pot.

"Really?"

"Can’t be, Lin Wan Yi seems gentle, not like this kind of person."

"You never truly know soone’s heart! She is ultimately from a capitalist background... who knows what’s in her bones..."

"So vicious! This is poisoning! It’s attempted murder! It could lead to imprisonnt!"

The discussions felt like needles, pricking Lin Wan Yi all over.

Dean Li and Professor Wang’s expressions turned serious as well.

Though they believed in Lin Wan Yi, Zhang Lina spoke with conviction, and Gu Xiuzhen was rolling in pain on the ground, making the situation hard to control.

General Zhang’s brow furrowed into a knot.

He had recently received a favor from Lin Wan Yi, but given the current situation... the accusation of poisoning is too serious for him to speak hastily.

Gu Xiuzhen beca more animated with others supporting her.

She struggled to grab Political Commissioner Zhou’s leg, saring tears and snot on his pants.

"Commissioner, you must seek justice for !"

"This woman, venomous at heart! She wanted not only to burn , but to poison all of us!"

"This soup is ant for all guests today! She’s plotting to harm the entire compound’s family mbers!"

Such an allegation is untouchable.

"Quick! Get this soup tested! She surely put sothing unspeakable in it!"

Political Commissioner Zhou looked troubled, entangled by her.

"Sister Gu, stand up, your foot is the priority! Go to the hospital!"

"I’m not going!" Gu Xiuzhen started to beco more unreasonable, "Until this soup is cleared, until this vicious woman is caught, I’ll die here!"

"Yes! It must be cleared up!" Zhang Lina supported righteously beside her, "We cannot let any bad person go! Especially a class enemy sabotaging in the military compound!"

The situation reached a deadlock.

Everyone’s gaze focused on the pot of creamy chicken soup.

Its originally tempting aroma now seed laced with a touch of bizarre and deadly danger.

Lin Wan Yi stood still, head lowered, her shoulders slightly trembling.

She appeared so isolated and defenseless, unable to speak in her defense.

Instinctively, she grabbed the man’s sleeve beside her, her fingertips cold.

Gu Yanshen remained silent throughout.

His tall figure, like a silent iron tower, stood protectively behind Lin Wan Yi.

His face, perpetually stern, showed no expression.

He felt his wife’s trembling.

Gu Yanshen lowered his head slowly and glanced at her.

Then, gently yet irrevocably, he removed her hand from his sleeve.

Lin Wan Yi was stunned.

Everyone else was stunned.

What did this an?

Did he believe it too? Was he drawing a line between himself and his wife?

A glint of satisfaction flickered in Gu Xiuzhen’s eyes.

See! Even your own husband doesn’t believe you! You’re finished!

While everyone was harboring their own thoughts.

Gu Yanshen moved.

He pushed through the crowd at the door and strode into the kitchen.

The room fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, watching him.

Gu Yanshen reached the stove.

He picked up a clean large ladle, his movents as steady as if he were cleaning his gun.

He extended the ladle into the steaming clay pot.

The ladle stirred the soup, making a light sound.

He scooped up a full ladle of soup, its creamy broth topped with golden chicken fat.

Then, he grabbed a clean large bowl.

One ladle.

The soup poured into the bowl with a pleasant sound.

Two ladles.

The aroma grew stronger, yet no one could smile.

Three ladles.

He filled a large bowl to the brim, almost overflowing the soup.

The rich aroma spread again.

But this ti, no one found it pleasant.

Everyone’s hearts sank to their throats.

What is he going to do?

Gu Yanshen lifted the bowl of soup.

He turned around, his gaze sharp, sweeping over everyone present.

He looked past the puzzled Political Commissioner Zhou, past the pale Zhang Lina, past the shocked guests.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the ground where Gu Xiuzhen was playing tricks.

Then.

Under everyone’s astonished gaze.

Gu Yanshen tilted his head back.

He held the steaming bowl of soup and drank it directly, gulp after gulp.

"Gulp."

"Gulp."

The sound of swallowing was clear in the dead silent kitchen.

Soup dribbled down his mouth, across his well-defined chin, and dripped onto his well-ford military uniform.

But he didn’t care.

One second.

Two seconds.

Ten seconds.

A whole bowl of chicken soup, down to the last drop.

He finished.

Gu Xiuzhen’s cries ceased.

Zhang Lina’s mouth was agape, capable of fitting an egg.

Everyone seed to have been paused.

Gu Yanshen placed the bowl down.

No, he didn’t place it down.

He slamd it heavily on the stove!

"Bang!"

A loud crash.

The sturdy porcelain bowl, astonishingly, cracked!

Everyone’s heart skipped with that loud noise.

Gu Yanshen wiped his mouth.

He turned around, his tall fra casting a shadow, completely engulfing Gu Xiuzhen on the ground.

He looked down at her.

His gaze cold as winter ice.

"Aunt."

His voice, low, raspy, yet carrying imnse power.

"Where’s the poison?"
